Samuel Smith October Fest on tap at a local bar. I look forward to this every year. One of the better versions of the genre. BTW...It was a costume gig and for you fans of Breaking Bad...I donned my Heisenberg garb and gave out little sacks of blue rock candy, and little vials of sugar ..." a little something to put in your coffee "

I had a Bell's Wheat Love Ale. A high alcohol ale (8%) but it still had that wheat ale aftertaste that I commonly get with wheat ale. I tried it as Bell's flagship wheat ale, Oberon, doesn't give me that aftertaste.

The first store I saw it in wanted $5.00/bottle a different store wanted $2.50/bottle with a large supply so I tried a bottle. Glad I didn't get a 6-pack.

Back to the Sierra Nevada Flipside Red IPA last night while watching baseball. Great stuff but much improved if not consumed straight out of the fridge. My second one, which sat on the counter for fifteen minutes while I drank the first one, was light years better after warming a tiny bit. Improved head, much more pronounced hop bouquet, etc.

I went to a beer festival yesterday and my favourite of the day was a Emelisse White Label 11% Stout that had been on Wild Turkey barrels. This is the best whiskey barreled beer I have ever tasted, the wood, especially the vanillins was very well integrated into the beer. I never heard of Emelisse before yesterday, it's a dutch brewery.

Lagunitas Imperial Stout,I think everything they make is truly solid across the board and this is no different,it's not groundbreaking by any means but very solid especially considering its price point.
